Staff Technical Program Manager (Sentry Fixed Site Systems)

• The Sentry Fixed Site Systems team develops integrated autonomous security systems deployed across defense, border security, air defense, maritime, and critical infrastructure missions
• These systems combine sensing, autonomy, communications, compute, power, structure, and platform technologies into complete operational capabilities
• The team works across multiple engineering disciplines and business lines to deliver fixed-site systems and future integrated variants, while leveraging common Sentry platform technologies wherever possible
• Anduril is seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead development and delivery of Sentry Fixed Site Systems
• In this role, you will own technical planning and cross-functional execution for integrated fixed-site products, driving alignment across subsystem teams, platform teams, manufacturing, field operations, product management, and business line stakeholders
• You will be responsible for ensuring complex hardware and software subsystems mature into complete, deployable systems that meet customer needs, technical requirements, schedule commitments, and manufacturing readiness expectations
• Success in this role hinges on three key facets:
• Integrated systems mindset — understanding how sensors, PTUs, compute, power, comms, autonomy, structure, and mission software come together into a complete deployable system
• Execution ownership — driving development through integration, qualification, production readiness, and deployment while managing risks and dependencies
• Cross-functional alignment — partnering across Product, Architecture, Engineering, Manufacturing, Field Operations, and business line stakeholders to deliver complete mission systems
• Lead technical execution for integrated Sentry Fixed Site systems, across ground, maritime and air defense mission variants
• Drive programs from concept through system integration, validation, qualification, production readiness, and deployment
• Coordinate subsystem integration across sensing, PTU, compute, communications, power, autonomy, mission software, and structural systems
• Partner with Sentry Platform TPMs to align shared subsystem roadmaps with integrated system milestones
• Work closely with Product Management, Platform Architecture, Chief Engineers, Manufacturing, Field Operations, and business line stakeholders
• Lead cross-functional planning, design reviews, build readiness, test events, and deployment readiness activities
• Manage schedules, risks, dependencies, and technical tradeoffs across multiple subsystem teams
• Drive reuse of common platform technologies while supporting mission-specific customer variants
• Communicate system-level program health, risks, technical decisions, and milestones to leadership
